Hi Norman, all the brush points above are relevant to optimise life span and usage of brushes. Paint is the next issue...I have many nightmares brush painting with Tamiya Acrylics (Not actually an acrylic per say) I have tried but it consistently lifts the moment a second stroke of the brush touches the first layer which should not be the characteristics of an acrylic. It's first class for airbrushing provided the surface is prepared properly and I have no problem with that.
Sorry to go off point but if you are going to invest in good brushes and maintenance, best to paint with the right paint for hand brushing. I use Vallejo for my figures...for large areas perhaps fellow modellers can suggest a paint for you. I can't as I airbrush large areas including base coats on large figures.
Cheers,
Richard
